the issue i kept coming across last night was, if i was using the gingerbread music player, GPS signal would degrade or drop completely. i would have to turn off the music completely before i could obtain any GPS locks that would stay steady.

attempted this with v1.2c, using the included music player, and pandora. still an issue. maybe that is why the cyanogen team stated that HTC had funky GPS coding for the EVO.

This is a blocker bug for 7.0 final, so it'll get resolved.
